Want to Join Our Postcard Club? Here's How!

[lisab]

Lisab should have her card by now.

And Wollie should have his by this Friday or Monday(I sent it today).

Borek? Where is my card?...

Nope - damn Columbus Day! And the post office was closed when I went foraging for stamps!

 

[Borek]

Borek? Where is my card?...

On my desk. And it will be sent most likely tomorrow, as I will need to go to post office. But it may travel even several weeks, I have seen that before. Sorry, can't help it.

And at the moment any postcards sent to me will travel looooong. There is not a single postman working in my area, they all resigned. For the last two months mail is delivered once in every two or three weeks. I am getting three issues of a weekly magazine at once, all already out of date

 

[wolram]

Don't you have enough coins, wolram??

Not yet, i want to go to Gottland to get some more, i hear the vikings buried loads or Arabic coins there.
But why are you angry with me for having some coins? they are not worth much.

 

[Math Is Hard]

Poor MIH. Dejectedly checking her empty mailbox, wondering where her postcards are.

Do they deliver mail on Columbus Day where you live? (This has to be the stupidest holiday of the year. I broke out laughing the first time I worked somewhere that gave me Columbus Day off.)

Totally empty mailbox yesterday. Stupid Columbus. And I didn't even get the day off which is lame because technically I have a gummint job and should get all the extra holidays.

 

[Borek]

Just like mine

 

[BobG]

Well, I mailed mine today.

They all resigned? That must be a problem with paying bills..

In whole Poland. Polish post is too large, too socialistic, with too many trade unions. Add to that that my local post office is awfully managed.

In fact my blood pressure goes up when I think about the institution, as large part of my income is from mail orders, so we better change the subject. Do you want a postcard? I have several more than I need. I can't promise it will get to you this year... oops, plan was to not think about it

Do they deliver mail on Columbus Day where you live?

They did, in the last town I lived - the capital of Ohio. Apparently, they don't have much respect for ol' Cristóbal there.

Wow! My postman just now delivered mail and it's after 6:30 PM. (He was surly as usual - hungover, I suspect.)

I got your cute kitty postcard, Andre. THANK YOU!

 

[Evo]

Oh, I might have mail? I haven't been to the mailbox.

 

[Borek]

For the record: 7 postcards dropped into the post box about 30 minutes ago

Post office was full of people complaining that they are not getting their mail. They were giving their addresses, clerk moved to some other room to get back after 15 minutes with a bunch of letters. "This is all from your street, can you deliver to your neghbors?" Next client, same story, 15 minutes browsing. Penguins are better organized. I have just send my packets and postcards, I have no time today to wait longer, but if they will not bring my mail tomorrow, I will have to go there on Friday morning, as by then I will I need one of the letters that were sent to me. I really think we should throw this post away and start from scratch I passionately hate them, more and more every week.

 

[wolram]

Who is the biggest dummy in the whole wide world?
WOLRAM is,
why, because i put the wrong stamps on,
I have done them all again and put the correct stamps on
this time, i would not even have thought about the
cost of the stamp unless some asked me how much
it cost to send to America.

 

[Borek]

I have overpaid for the cards for you and Andre - 10 gr for each (I paid US rate for all postcards). I have lost about $.08.

Our post office did not have enough USA value stamps, so MIH has two 50p one's,
they are horrible stamps but there is no choice.

Send me your address!

Instead of sending you a postcard, I'll send you a box of guns. Give them to the postal workers. They will eliminate each other. Then they can hire new, hopefully better, employees.

That's how we do it in the USA.

btw, would it be better if I FedEx you a postcard? I believe it's only 90 złotych.

 

[Borek]

Sure, I forgot about it.

If nothing changes - I am moving.

I have paid 2.50 PLN in stamps for each postcard, so it is only 36 times more expensive.

 

[tribdog]

I need a job, can you send me an application to be a post man instead of a postcard? I don't speak polish, but I can deliver mail faster than any nonexistent postman ever.

 

[cristo]

To send a postcard internationally costs 56p. Sounds like you've been overcharged!

I can send you phone number of the post office. I doubt they speak English, but it shouldn't make the situation worse than it already is.

Yes, that is two extra days of no cheese with my bread and pullit.

 

[Andre]

MiH, you're welcome. Any luck yet, Evo? Well, there are always more cards.

No problem whatsoever here to get cards and stamps and find mail boxes other than hotmail or yahoo.

Wanna card? PM me.

Can you use Nederland stamps please. I've a hundred relatives in Germany and 90% of my stamp collection is from there. Or better yet, do they have Euro-stamps yet? This internet crap is killing my hobby. I've not a single one.

Borek! Your card is in the mail! hmmm... after reading your posts, perhaps I should have sent you a Christmas card instead?

 

[Math Is Hard]

ooh! I got a pretty picture postcard from Wolly! Thanks so much! Where is Bishops Bowls Lakes?

 

[~christina~]

Ooo I've decided that I want to exchange snail mail addesses.
I think I'll see if I can put a picture that I've taken on the front. (now I have to just find time to go to the print shop to see if this is possible)

I'm just confused as what we're supposed to write on these cards...I don't usually send cards to people out of randomness..

 

[wolram]

It is just up the road from me, and where i found my fossils, also where some bad guys want build a hotel and houses

But how did the one with the wrong stamp get to you the mail people must have been feeling extra nice.
May be every one will get two cards.

 

[Borek]

I have just put of my stream of conscience on the postcards; it doesn't matter much, as I am barely readable.

Just put address in prints so that cards to US will not end in New Zealand.

 

[Andre]

Meanwhile, I posted three more cards. Would be nice to see how much time it would take to travel.

 

[Borek]

So far, cards sent by:

MIH, Andre, Wolram², Borek, OmCheeto, BobG

Cards received by:

MIH, Andre, Wolram

But that's probably not whole story.

 

[lisab]

I sent four this morning - more going out soon!

 

[Evo]

I have to remember to make a trip to the mail box. The last time I went I broke my arm. The Evo Child has been making by-monthly mail runs for me.

Monthly? I thought you lived in Kansas. When did you move to Poland?

Cool. Out here they pull fossils out of a big stinky tar pit.
